About MACA

MACA is a successful mining services and civil construction 
group providing open pit contracting services to the mining 
industry including loading and hauling, drilling and blasting, 
crushing and screening and civil infrastructure services to 
public and private industry.

Incorporated as a private company in November 2002, MACA was admitted to 
the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) in November 2010 following a highly 
successful initial public offering (‘IPO’). In every year following the listing, MACA 
has delivered on its profit forecasts and growth objectives and maintains continuing 
positive forward projections based on its solid financial and operational capacity. 

MACA’s mining business specialises in providing services predominantly to mid-
size mining projects across a range of commodities. Through its dedicated civil 
construction business (now 100% owned), MACA provides a broad range of civil 
infrastructure services to government and private organisations. The Group currently 
employs a workforce in excess of 1200 employees and sub-contractors.

MACA LIMItED AnnuAl RepoRt 2013   

 
 
Chairman’s Address

It gives me great pleasure to present the Annual Report for MACA for the 
year ended 30 June 2013.

I am pleased to advise that MACA has achieved a record net profit after tax 
for the 2013 financial year of $49.5 million and earnings per share of 31.5 
cents (basic). this represents a 32% increase in profit and 25% increase in 
earnings per share on the previous year and continues the Company’s strong 
financial record following its public listing nearly 3 years ago. 

Consistent with this earnings growth, MACA has declared a 
final dividend of 5.5 cents per share, bringing the total for 
the year to 10 cents per share fully franked. This is also a 
25% increase on the previous year. 

The Company also continues to actively engage with the 
community and is a proud supporter of the Sunsuper 
Ride to Conquer Cancer and the Princess Margaret 
Hospital Foundation.

This financial outcome once again reflects a solid 
operating performance across the Company’s portfolio of 
projects. Earnings before interest, tax and depreciation 
(EBITDA) of $116.3 million grew by 35% over last year 
and, importantly, has been realised in operating cash flow 
($111.8m) through effective working capital management. 

I would like to particularly thank the management team 
for their efforts over the past year. Doug Grewar joined 
the Company as Managing Director on 1 October 2012 
replacing Chris Tuckwell in what has been a smooth 
transition. I would also like to thank my fellow directors for 
their support and contribution.

In combination with the capital raising completed during 
the year, the operating cash flow has further strengthened 
the Company’s balance sheet such that MACA is well 
positioned to pursue future growth opportunities. At 30 
June cash on hand was $122.9 million and net cash (net 
of debt) was $28.8 million.

The Company has continued to grow its work on hand 
during the year. Key contracts awarded included the 
Rosemont Gold project (Regis Resources Limited) and 
the Abydos DSO project (Atlas Iron Limited) as well as the 
Safelinks Alliance with Main Roads Department of Western 
Australia. The order book at 30 June was $1.7 billion with 
an average mining contract length of 35 months. 

The growth in operations has not deflected MACA from 
its unwavering focus on the safety of its workforce. The 
Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate reduced by 38% 
during the period and the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate 
remains below industry levels.

As has been widely reported, 2013 witnessed an industry 
slowdown in mining and construction services activity. 
This has been reflected in weak market sentiment towards 
these sectors. Your Company is not immune to these 
industry forces. However, MACA’s production oriented 
mining business and strong balance sheet makes it both 
less vulnerable to decisions to delay or curtail project 
expenditure and well placed to pursue growth opportunities 
as these emerge. 

The Board and management remain positive about the 
future outlook for your Company and look forward to 
continuing MACA’s successful progress in the coming year 
and beyond.

Managing Director’s  
Review of Operations

On this, the 10th anniversary year since incorporation and our third since 
listing in 2010, I am pleased to present my first review of the company’s 
performance to shareholders of MACA Limited.

MACA maintained its strong growth and financial 
performance in FY2013, delivering solid operational and 
project performance and further strengthening its outlook 
through a significant increase in the contracted work in 
hand position. The results have been achieved through a 
number of success factors including:

•	

A strong focus on the management and execution of 
our operations

•	 Commitment to our clients and the relationships in 

our business

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Revenue

EBITDA

EBIT

Net Profit Before Tax

Net Profit After Tax

Contracted Work in Hand

Operating Cash Flow

Earnings per share – basic 

Dividends per share (fully franked)

Group revenue increased due to continued growth in 
the core mining segment and a revenue contribution of 
approximately $76 million from the civil business.

The after tax profit has increased by 31.3%, from $37.7 
million in 2012 to $49.5 million for the year ended 30 
June 2013. The increase in profitability is attributable to 
higher revenues at consistent margins at group level and 
was underpinned by reliable operational performance 
across the portfolio of projects. EBITDA (Earnings before 
interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) grew from 
$86.3 million in FY2012 to $116.3 million for the period 
ending 30 June 2013, again demonstrating consistency 
in returns of the group. 

•	

•	

The management of our assets which we recognise as 
an integral component of business success
The delivery of services and outcomes through 
the talent of our workforce who demonstrate the 
Company’s commitment to working safely every day
•	 A high priority towards training and development of 

our people

•	 A demonstrated commitment to our core values and 
our promise; we care; we deliver and we are flexible.

Managing Director’s Review of Operations

OPERAtING CASH FLOw AND 
CAPItAL ExPENDItuRE
Operating cash flow for the 12 months ending 30 June 
2013 was $111.8 million.

Capital expenditure for the financial year was $104.3 
million. Capital was prioritised for the purchase of new 
and replacement equipment which was funded through a 
combination of cash ($36.3 million) and commercial hire 
purchase agreements.

Assets were purchased to replace specific plant and 
equipment which had previously been hired, to meet 
increased activity levels and for new contract works 
awarded during the period.

BALANCE SHEEt AND GEARING
Despite the significant increase in revenue and assets 
employed, the group as at 30 June 2013 remains in a 
strong financial position with a net cash position of $28.8M 
and with cash on hand of $123 million. During the period 
MACA successfully raised $56.25 million (before costs) 
in a capital raising. This raising has assisted the net cash 
position and the balance sheet strength of the Group. 

ORDER BOOk
MACA Limited has increased its order book value and 
extended tenure to record levels throughout the year.

As at 30 June 2013 the Company had work-in-hand of 
$1,713 million with an average mining contract term of 35 
months over 10 major projects. 

OPERAtIONS
Mining
The division’s revenue of $398 million represented 84% of 
the total group revenue and was derived from continuing 
operations, the completion of two projects and the 
commencement of four new projects during the period. 

Revenue for the year continued to grow in line with 
increases in project scope and the commencement of 
new projects. 

Crushing activity increased with the ramp up and 
commissioning of Peculiar Knob and Mt Dove projects 
making contribution to overall production during the 
period. Total crushing production volume was 12% 
greater than the previous financial year. Additional 
production from Abydos is expected to increase crushing 
volumes in FY2014.

Mining contracts by sector commenced, completed and in 
continuation from July 2012 include:

iron Ore

(MRDWA). The Civil division recently announced the award 
of the Safelinks Alliance project for the MRDWA which is 
expected to contribute to earnings in FY2014 period.

HEALtH, SAFEty AND ENvIRONMENt
MACA manages risk through the continual improvement, 
measurement and review of its systems and processes 
targeted specifically to prevent harm and incidents. 
Quarterly audits are conducted across all projects with 
compliance measured against our certified Occupational 
Health and Safety Management Systems (AS/NZS: 4801) 
and Environmental Management Systems (ISO: 14001). 

The continued focus on health and safety through our 
audit and compliance processes has seen our Lost Time 
Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) remain below industry 
benchmarks. In addition, our Total Recordable Injury 
Frequency Rate (TRIFR) fell more than 38%, a good 
outcome considering the strong business growth and 
increase in number of new employees and contractors to 
our business.

SAFEty
MACA remains vigilant in providing a safe workplace 
for its employees, contractors and visitors. Focus on 
the development of new safety improvement initiatives 
continues as one of our key business drivers. We 
acknowledge that the successful leadership of safety is 
paramount to our business success and it is an enduring 
philosophy of ours that each employee return home every 
day safe and in the same way they began the day. The 
goal of zero harm underpins every task we perform in the 
workplace. Our commitment to proactively manage safety 
in our business continues in the positive behaviours, the 
targets and goals we establish for the business and in the 
results we have achieved in our day to day operations.

In December 2012 MACA Civil Pty Ltd was successful 
in achieving accreditation to the Federal Building and 
Construction OHS Scheme. This safety accreditation 
facilitates access to tender opportunities listed as federally 
funded projects.

QuALIty MANAGEMENt
MACA maintained accreditation for its Quality Management 
Systems (ISO: 9001) during the year and continues to 
develop its systems to support growth through continual 
improvement, measurement and review.

OutLOOk
Despite recent challenging times for the mining industry, 
we believe there is now emerging a cautious optimism 
amongst industry participants. Mining companies focus 
on internal business processes and austerity programmes, 
coupled with the devaluation of the Australian dollar 
and the general freeing up of capacity constraints 
across the industry have improved the general outlook 
for the industry. Whilst we are always alert to changing 
macro political and economic environments, we believe 
that there is a pipeline of quality resource projects in 
the development phase, from both within our existing 
customers’ portfolios and externally. This pipeline supports 
our underlying expectation of future business growth in 
the mining services and civil sectors. With the volume of 
mining outputs expected to increase over the coming years 
we are optimistic that resource owners will continue to rely 
on and utilise mining services businesses to support their 
production profiles. 

The reported increase in business confidence may lead 
to an improvement in the outlook for our civil division. A 
number of private and Government infrastructure projects 
are expected to be progressed over the outlook period 
supporting our confidence for this sector. 

Our history of supporting our customers in developing and 
executing their projects, has allowed us to grow alongside 
them delivering reliable, quality services. We remain 
confident that our successful formula of doing business 
can be maintained with our growth not only with existing 
clients, but also with potential new customers through 
the commitment of our people, our safety focus and the 
cultures that have defined us so far. 

MACA highly values its hard working and loyal employees. 
On behalf of the board and all shareholders, I would like 
to extend my gratitude to them and all of our stakeholders 
who remain an essential component of our success.

Doug grewar
Managing Director, CEO

Managing Director’s Review of Operations

HuMAN RESOuRCES
As at 30 June 2013 the Group had a total workforce of 
approximately 1200 employees and subcontractors.

The labour market has recently displayed an easing trend 
allowing the Group an opportunity to attract new talent 
whilst building on its retention strategies. Imperative to our 
business success is the skills and experience of our people 
and their ability to work in a safe and productive manner.

MACA continues to develop and improve a number of 
programmes to enhance the performance and satisfaction 
of our workforce. Internal and external leadership 
programmes, scholarships for mining and civil engineers, 
and the in-house development of our key people ensures 
the skills and capability of our workforce is enabled to 
meet future business challenges. MACA’s apprenticeship 
scheme continued to grow in the 2013 financial year with a 
further increase in our intake of critical trade apprentices. 
During the period, the Group prioritised and rolled out 
an internal training programme based on the retention 
of our “Can Do” culture, our core values and our integral 
brand pillars. MACA’s key strength resides in the ability to 
retain the business culture that has delivered successful 
outcomes and the business recognises the importance of 
retaining these values as the company continues to grow.

MACA maintains a proactive approach to diversity through 
the monitoring of employment outcomes particularly for 
female and indigenous participation. Policies have been 
established to meet our commitment to embrace diversity 
and recruitment and retention strategies have been 
established to fulfil this goal.

COMMuNIty
MACA, with the support of its employees, suppliers and 
stakeholders maintains a strong link to the regions and 
communities in which it operates. The Company actively 
contributes and supports many regional and local groups 
across a diverse range of activities as part of our focus to 
be a solid community participant. During the year MACA 
continued its long term association with the Princess 
Margaret Hospital Foundation, through the provision of 
funds for medical equipment. 

MACA has also maintained its “Powered By” sponsorship 
of the ‘Sunsuper Ride to Conquer Cancer’ which directly 
supports the Western Australian Institute of Medical 
Research (WAIMR). The support of WAIMR and the ride 
will continue in the current year with MACA workforce and 
stakeholders united in their efforts to raise in excess of 
$1m for this years event.

REMuNERAtION REPORt
a) Details of the Key Management Personnel (“KMP”)
The KMP of the Group during and since the end of the financial year comprise the company directors (as detailed in the 
beginning of the Director’s Report) and the following senior executive officers. Except as noted, these persons held their 
current position for the whole of the financial year and since the end of the financial year:

Darren Erikssen ceased as KMP 30/6/2012

Position

General Manager – Business Development

General Manager - Mining 

General Manager – Plant

General Manager – Civil 

Operations Manager – Civil

b) Remuneration Policy
The Remuneration Committee reviews the remuneration packages of all KMP on an annual basis and makes 
recommendations to the Board. Remuneration is benchmarked against comparable industry packages and is adjusted to 
recognise the specific performance of both the company and the individual. 

During the financial year, the remuneration committee engaged Godfrey Remuneration Group as a remuneration 
consultant to review the levels of senior executive and non executive remuneration being paid.

Godfrey Remuneration Group was paid $33,000 for this review and the remuneration recommendations provided. No other 
services were provided by Godfrey Remuneration Group.

In order to ensure that the Godfrey Remuneration Group work was free from undue influence by executive KMP, the terms 
of engagement, among other matters, required Godfrey Remuneration Group to report its recommendations directly to the 
Chair of the remuneration committee. A declaration was received from Godfrey Remuneration Group as part of its report 
that advice provided was made free from undue influence of senior executives.

c) Non Executive Directors Fees
Non executive directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool which is periodically recommended for 
approval to shareholders. The current aggregate directors’ fee pool is $350,000. The Group will be requesting this limit be 
increased at the Annual General Meeting. This is to provide for any future increases to Non-Executive Directors fees and to 
allow for any changes to the Board make up and potential increases in the number of Non-Executive Directors.

Fees paid to non executive directors are set at levels which reflect both the responsibilities of, and time commitments 
required from, each non executive director to discharge their duties. Non executive director fees are reviewed annually by 
the Board to ensure they are appropriate for the duties performed, including Board committee duties, and are in line with 
the market. Other than statutory superannuation, non executive directors are not entitled to retirement benefits.

d) senior Executives
The nature and amount of compensation for executive KMP is designed to retain and motivate individuals on a market 
competitive basis.

The compensation structure for executive KMP comprise of three components. The first two comprise a base salary 
package, (including superannuation and other benefits) and a variable cash bonus for short term incentives (STI). The 
third component is cash or performance rights issued as a long term incentive (LTI), which to date has been implemented 
for only two executives as outlined below. The STI and LTI compensation structure is made up of a combination of profit 
performance targets, delivered safety targets and personnel targets as well as total shareholder return.

The base salary package takes into account a number of factors including available market information on similar 
positions, length of service and the experience, responsibilities and contribution of the employee concerned.

The STI component for the 2012/13 financial year was up to 25% of the base salary package dependent on the individual 
executive. The 2013/14 STI component is up to 25% of base salary. The hurdle components in 2013/14 comprise Net 
Profit after Tax, Earnings per Share, Return on Capital Employed, safety, and staffing measures. Further detail on the STI 
payments made in the 2012/13 year is set out later in this Remuneration Report.

Director’s Report

The Group has a LTI in place for Operations Director Mr Geoff Baker on the following terms:

A retention bonus paid in cash of $750,000 subject to a further 2 years of continued service with MACA from 
3 November 2011. The full amount will be paid on 3 November 2013 if the share price at this date is equal to or greater 
than $2.20. Should the share price be less than $2.20 but greater than $1.90 at this date, the payment will be pro-rated 
between these amounts. Should the share price be less than $1.90 at this date, no retention bonus will be paid.

The Group will seek approval at the AGM for the issue of performance rights to the Managing Director Mr Doug Grewar 
pursuant to an LTI Plan on the following terms:

•	 The performance rights will have a 3 year vesting period
•	 Vesting conditions will include continuous employment during this period plus performance hurdles
•	 The performance hurdles will comprise a 25% growth in earnings per share component and a 75% relative TSR 

component against a specified group of comparable companies 

•	 The number of performance rights issued will be determined as 30% of Mr Grewar’s current fixed annual 

remuneration divided by the independently assessed value of a performance right.

•	 Full particulars of the terms and conditions will be set out in the information sent to shareholders for the purposes 

of the forthcoming annual general meeting.

The Remuneration Committee assesses whether the performance conditions are achieved and makes recommendations to 
the Board.

Corporate Governance

The Board of Directors of MACA Limited (the Company) is responsible for the corporate governance of the consolidated 
entity. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom 
they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

The Australian Stock Exchange Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires companies to disclose the extent to which they have complied 
with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments released on 30 June 2010 
(‘ASX Principles’). Where recommendations have not been followed, the Company must identify the recommendations 
which have not been followed and give reasons for not following them. The Company’s corporate governance practices 
for the year ended 30 June 2013 are outlined in this Corporate Governance Statement. Where, after due consideration, 
the Company’s corporate governance practices depart from a recommendation, the Board has offered full disclosure and 
reason for the adoption of its own practice, in compliance with the “if not, why not” regime. 

PRINCIPLE 1: LAy SOLID FOuNDAtIONS FOR MANAGEMENt AND OvERSIGHt 
Companies should establish and disclose the respective roles and responsibilities of board and management.

Recommendation 1.1:
Companies should establish the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose 
those functions. 

The Company has established and disclosed (on its website) its Board Charter in accordance with this recommendation. 
The Board Charter establishes the relationship between the Board and management and describes their respective 
functions and responsibilities. 

Details of the functions and responsibilities of the Board, Chairman and matters delegated to senior executives are set out 
in sections 1 to 6 of the Board Charter. The roles and responsibilities of the Company’s Board and senior executives are 
consistent with those set out in ASX Principle 1.

Recommendation 1.2:
Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives. 

The Board undertakes a review of the Managing Director’s performance, at least annually. Targets are approved by the 
Board after they have been established between the Board’s Remuneration Committee and the Managing Director. These 
targets are aligned to overall business goals and the Company’s requirements of the position. 

All executives of MACA Limited are subject to a formal review. Key performance targets are the same as for the Managing 
Director (and adjusted for the requirements of these positions). 

The Managing Director, in conjunction with the Remuneration Committee, carries out a full evaluation of each executive’s 
performance against the agreed targets once a year. Performance pay components of executives’ packages are dependent 
on the outcome of the evaluation. 

Recommendation 1.3:
Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 1. 

The Company has made the relevant material available in its Corporate Governance Statement within its website disclosure, 
in accordance with this recommendation.

PRINCIPLE 2: StRuCtuRE tHE BOARD tO ADD vALuE 
Companies should have a board of effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities 
and duties. 

Recommendation 2.1:
A majority of the board should be independent directors. 

The Company currently comprises three non-executive directors including the Chairman, and three executive directors.

This equal representation of executive and non-executive directors is considered by the Board to be a reasonable balance 
given the Company’s size and circumstances, in particular, in recognition of its recent transition to a publicly listed 
company and the current importance of the existing executive directors to MACA’s continued success. 

The directors in office at the date of this report, the year of each director’s appointment and each director’s status as a 
Non-executive or Executive Director are set out on pages 12 to 13 in the Director’s Report. 

24

MACA LIMItED AnnuAl RepoRt 2013   

 
 
Corporate Governance

In assessing the independence of each director the Board considers, amongst other things, whether the director: 

•	

is a substantial shareholder of the Company (as defined by the Corporations Act) or an officer of, or otherwise 
associated directly with a substantial shareholder of the Company; 

•	 within the last three years has been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member or 

been a director after ceasing to hold any such employment; 

•	 within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the 

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

Company or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; 
is a material supplier or customer of the Company or other group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated 
directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; 
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another group member other than as a director of the 
Company; 
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another group member other than as a director of the 
Company; 
has served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the 
director’s ability to act in the bests interests of the Company; and
is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, 
materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company. 

Applying the above criteria, the Board has determined that Mr Andrew Edwards, Mr Joseph Sweet and Mr Linton Kirk are 
independent directors.

Recommendation 2.2:
The chair should be an independent director. 

The Board has determined that the Company’s Chairman, Mr Andrew Edwards is an independent director. 

Recommendation 2.3:
The roles of the chair and chief executive officer should not be exercised by the same individual. 

The roles of Chairman of the Board and Managing Director are held by different individuals. 

Recommendation 2.4:
The board should establish a nomination committee. 

The Board has not formed a separate Nomination Committee. The Board as a whole fulfils the role of a Nomination 
Committee. To assist the Board to carry out the nomination committee function, it has documented and formalised its 
nomination related responsibilities in its Board Charter. This approach is considered by the Board to be appropriate given 
the Company’s size and current circumstances.

Recommendation 2.5:
Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual 
directors. 

In accordance with its Charter the Board will undertake an annual evaluation of its effectiveness as a whole and in 
committee against a broad range of good practice criteria. The first such evaluation is intended to be undertaken during 
the coming twelve months and the Board may involve an external facilitator for this purpose. The individual performance 
of each Board member is reviewed by the Chairman prior to each being considered for re-election. The Chairman’s 
performance is evaluated periodically by the Board. 

Recommendation 2.6:
Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to Reporting on Principle 2. 

The Company has made the relevant material available, being the Board Charter and Nomination Committee Charter 
in the Corporate Governance Statement within its Annual Report and its website disclosure, in accordance with this 
recommendation, including the following policies and procedures.

In determining the independence of each Director, materiality is assessed on a case-by-case basis with consideration 
of the nature, circumstances and activities of the directors having regard to the guidelines the Board uses to assess the 
independence of directors under recommendation 2.1, rather than by applying general materiality thresholds.

  MACA LIMItED AnnuAl RepoRt 2013    

25

Corporate Governance

It is a policy of the Board that each director has the right to seek independent professional advice at the company’s 
expense, subject to prior approval of the Chairman which will not be unreasonably withheld.

The Board’s policy and procedure for the selection, nomination and appointment of new directors and the re-election of 
incumbent directors is as follows: 

•	

•	

The Board will oversee the appointment and induction process for the selection, appointment and succession 
planning process of the Company’s Managing Director. When a vacancy exists or there is a need for particular skills, 
the Board determines the selection criteria based on the skills deemed necessary;
The Board may identify potential candidates with advice from an external consultant. Those nominated will be 
assessed by the Board against background, experience, professional skills, personal qualities, whether the nominee’s 
skills and experience will augment the existing Board, and their availability to commit themselves to the Board’s 
activities. The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate. Board appointments must stand for election at the 
next general meeting of shareholders; and

•	 When directors are due for re-election, the Board will not endorse the reappointment of a director who is not 

satisfactorily performing the role.

PRINCIPLE 3: PROMOtE EtHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAkING 
Companies should actively promote ethical and responsible decision-making. 

Recommendation 3.1:
Companies should establish a code of conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to the practices 
necessary to maintain confidence in the company’s integrity; the practices necessary to take into account their legal 
obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders; and the responsibility and accountability of individuals 
for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices. 

The Company has established and disclosed (on its website) its Code of Conduct in accordance with this recommendation. It 
is a policy of the Board that the Code of Conduct applies to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.

The Code of Conduct is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the high ethical standards of 
conduct necessary to maintain confidence in the Company’s integrity. 

Recommendation 3.2:
Companies should establish a policy concerning diversity and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy. The policy 
should include requirements for the board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity for the board to 
assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them. 

The Company has established a Diversity Procedure and a Human Resources and Cultural Diversity Policy, both of which 
are available on the Company’s website.

The Company will continue to integrate it’s diversity policy within the recruitment and appointment processes in a manner 
that promotes gender diversity, including establishing a structured approach for identifying a pool of candidates for all 
Board and Senior Executive positions, using external experts where necessary. 

The Company is currently reviewing it’s succession plans, promotions and turnover to ensure an appropriate focus 
on diversity. The Company has identified specific factors to take account of in recruitment and selection processes 
to encourage diversity. The Company has also developed programs to raise awareness of the advantages of diversity 
and develop a broader pool of skilled and experienced senior management and board candidates, including, diversity 
education, workplace development programs mentoring programs and targeted training and development.

The Company has Identified and removed barriers to diversity that existed within the Company to create an inclusive and 
supportive organisation which enables employees to develop to it’s full potential. The Company has focused on developing 
a culture which recognises that employees at all levels of the Company may have domestic responsibilities and family 
commitments and will implement any other strategies the Board and management may develop from time to time.

Notes to the  
Financial Statements

for the year ended 30 June 2013

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of MACA Limited and Controlled Entities (the 
“consolidated group” or “group”). 

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, MACA Limited, have not been presented within this financial report 
as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 27th September 2013 by 
the directors of the company. 

NOtE 1. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANt ACCOuNtING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation 
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for profit entity for financial reporting 
purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial 
statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with 
Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial 
statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. 

These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where 
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. 

a. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by MACA Limited 
at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which MACA Limited has the ability to govern the 
financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. 

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities is 
included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 13 to the 
financial statements. 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the 
consolidated group have been eliminated in full on consolidation. 

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown 
separately within the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and Statement of Profit or Loss and 
Other Comprehensive Income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the 
original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.

Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. 

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities 
or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the 
combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity). The business combination will be accounted for 
as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, 
the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the 
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised 
where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.

The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method adopted for the 
measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree 
where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair 
value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. 
Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the 
former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2013

NOtE 1. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANt ACCOuNtING POLICIES (CONtINuED)
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other 
comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration 
arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or 
equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid 
are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not 
remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an 
asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and 
Other Comprehensive Income.

b. investments in Associates
Associate companies are companies in which the Group has significant influence through holding, directly or indirectly, 
20% or more of the voting power of the company. Investments in associates are accounted for in the financial statements 
by applying the equity method of accounting whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter 
for the post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate company. In addition the Group’s share 
of the profit or loss of the associate company is included in the Group’s profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the investment includes goodwill relating to the associate. Any excess of the Group’s share of 
the net fair value of the associate's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment 
is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the 
investor's share of the associate's profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the 
relation to the Group’s investment in the associate.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues 
recognising its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf 
of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the Group will resume the recognition of its share of 
those profits once its share of the profits equals the share of the losses not recognised.

There were no investments in associates as at 30 June 2013.

c. income tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax 
expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable 
income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are 
therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year 
as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss 
when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have 
been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial 
recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable 
profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is 
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. 
Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the 
related asset or liability.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2013

NOtE 1. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANt ACCOuNtING POLICIES (CONtINuED)
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be 
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net 
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income 
taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended 
that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future 
periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

d. inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct 
materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of 
normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs. 

e. Construction Contracts and Work in Progress
Construction work in progress is measured at cost, plus profit recognised to date less any provision for anticipated future 
losses. Cost includes both variable and fixed costs relating to specific contracts, and those costs that are attributable to the 
contract activity in general and that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

Construction profits are recognised on the stage of completion basis and measured using the proportion of costs incurred 
to date compared to the expected actual costs. Where losses are anticipated they are provided for in full.

Construction revenue has been recognised on the basis of the terms of the contract adjusted for any variations or claims 
allowable under the contract.

f. Property, Plant and Equipment 
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property
Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged 
between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction), based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations 
by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation surplus in equity. 
Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against fair value reserves directly in equity, all 
other decreases are charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Each year the difference 
between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from the revaluation 
reserve to retained earnings.

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and 
the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and 
any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment greater than the estimated 
recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and the 
impairment losses are recognised either in the profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate 
to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer 
to Note 1(i) for details of impairment).

37

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2013

NOtE 1. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANt ACCOuNtING POLICIES (CONtINuED)
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the 
recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows 
that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been 
discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing 
costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item 
can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, 
is depreciated on a diminishing value and/or straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated group 
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of 
either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset

Depreciation Rate

Leasehold improvements

2.5%

Plant and equipment

Low value pool

Motor vehicles

2.5% - 66.67%

18.75% - 37.5%

18.75% - 50%

The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses 
are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts 
included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

g. leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the 
legal ownership is transferred to entities in the consolidated group, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are 
capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property 
or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are 
allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. 

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as 
expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. 

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of 
the lease term. 

h. Financial instruments

Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the 
instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or 
sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). 

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified 
‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2013

NOtE 1. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANt ACCOuNtING POLICIES (CONtINuED)
Classification and subsequent measurement
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method, or cost. 

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied 
to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar 
instruments and option pricing models.

Amortised cost is calculated as: 

the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
less principal repayments;

a. 
b. 
c.  plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the  

maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and
less any reduction for impairment.

d. 

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is 
equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs 
and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual 
term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected 
future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or 
expense in profit or loss.

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the 
requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. 

i. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the 
purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as 
such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is 
managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management 
or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being 
included in profit or loss. 

ii. 

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in 
an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 
12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets.)

iii.  Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable 
payments, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost.

Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 
12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other investments are classified as current assets.)

If during the period the Group sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of the held-to-maturity 
investments before maturity, the entire held-to-maturity investments category would be tainted and reclassified as 
available-for-sale.

iv.  Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into 
other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise 
investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature 
within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other financial assets are classified as current assets.)

v.  Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

for the year ended 30 June 2013

NOtE 1. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANt ACCOuNtING POLICIES (CONtINuED)
Impairment 
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument 
has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the 
instrument is considered an indication that an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. 
Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit 
or loss at this point. 

De-recognition
Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to 
another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated 
with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. 
The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair 
value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

i. impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The 
assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from 
subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, 
an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the 
asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value 
over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in 
accordance with another standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a 
revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard. 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable 
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

j. Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which 
is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

k. Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the 
end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at 
the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been 
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the 
liability, consideration is given to employee wages increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting 
requirements. Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to 
maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.

Equity-settled compensation
The Group operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity 
to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, 
with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The 
fair value of options and performance rights are ascertained using a Black–Scholes pricing model and a Monte Carlo 
simulation respectively which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to 
vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as 
consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. 
The impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense 
reflects the revised estimate, with corresponding adjustment to the equity settled Option Reserve.

l. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is 
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

NOtE 1. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANt ACCOuNtING POLICIES (CONtINuED)
m. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-
term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

n. Revenue and Other income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade 
discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted 
at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount 
initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks 
and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate 
inherent in the instrument.

All dividends received shall be recognised as revenue when the right to receive the dividend has been established.

Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the 
transaction at the end of the reporting period and where outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of 
completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services 
to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related 
expenditure is recoverable.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

o. trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services 
received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability 
with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

p. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a 
substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as 
the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.

q. goods and services tax (gst)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is 
not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position 
are shown inclusive of GST. 

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and 
financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

r. Changes in ownership interests
The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with 
equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interests results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of 
the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the 
amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and the consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate 
reserve within equity attributable to owners of MACA Limited.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2013

NOtE 1. SuMMARy OF SIGNIFICANt ACCOuNtING POLICIES (CONtINuED)
When the group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is 
remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial 
carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled 
entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of 
that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that 
amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in a jointly-controlled entity or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is 
retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified 
to profit or loss where appropriate.

s. Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation 
for the current financial year. 

When the Group applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its 
financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.

t. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge 
and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on 
current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key estimates
i. 

Impairment

The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to 
the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using 
value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. 

ii.  Taxation

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation are based on the Group’s 
best estimates. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Group as they 
pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the Group’s understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made 
for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that best estimate, pending an 
assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.

iii.  Estimation of Useful Lives of Assets

The estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment has been based on historical experience and 
reviewed on an ongoing basis. The condition of the assets is assessed at least annually against the remaining useful 
life with adjustments made when considered necessary.

Key judgments
i. 

Environmental Issues

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted 
environmental legislation, and the Group’s understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Group’s development 
and its current environmental impact such treatment is considered reasonable and appropriate.

u.  Rounding of Amounts
The group has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and accordingly, amounts in the financial 
statements and directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties 
other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 10. The class of assets described as 
“trade and other receivables” is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit 
enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the 
debt has not been settled within the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counterparty to 
the transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are 
provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group.

The balance of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of 
acceptable credit quality.

a.  Ordinary shares:

At the beginning of the reporting period
Converted into 2 shares on incorporation
Shares issued during the year
- 
At reporting date

The company has no authorised share capital. 

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the 
parent entity in proportion to the number of shares held.

At the shareholders’ meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when 
a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

b.  Capital Management:

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a prudent 
debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure 
that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial 
liabilities, supported by financial assets.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group’s 
financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in 
these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of 
debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.

NOtE 21. CONtINGENt LIABILItIES AND CONtINGENt ASSEtS
There are no contingent assets or liabilities. 

NOtE 22. OPERAtING SEGMENtS
The group information presented in the financial report is the information that is reviewed by the Board of Directors (Chief 
operating decision maker) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

identification of Reportable segment
The Group identifies its operating segments based on internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors 
(chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Group operates predominantly in two businesses and one geographical segment being the provision of civil and 
contract mining services to the mining industry throughout Australia. 

Basis of Accounting for Purposes of Reporting by Operating segments

Accounting Policies Adopted
Unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief operating decision maker, is in 
accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the financial statements of the Company.

inter-segment transactions
Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received net of transaction costs. 
If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on 
market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.

segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of 
economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their 
nature and physical location. 

Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, investments in financial assets, deferred tax assets and intangible 
assets have not been allocated to operating segments.

segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of 
the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. 
Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.

Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not 
considered part of the core operations of any segment:

•	 Dividends, interest, head office and other administration expenditure

a.  Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract 
obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems for 
the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring 
of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers 
and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for 
impairment. Depending on the division within the Group, credit terms are generally 14 to 30 days from the invoice date.

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating, or in 
entities that the Committee has otherwise cleared as being financially sound. Where the Group is unable to ascertain a 
satisfactory credit risk profile in relation to a customer or counterparty, the risk may be further managed through insurance, 
title retention clauses over goods or obtaining security by way of personal or commercial guarantees over assets of 
sufficient value which can be claimed against in the event of any default.

Credit Risk Exposures
The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at balance date, excluding the value of any collateral 
or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as 
presented in the statement of financial position. Credit risk also arises through the provision of financial guarantees, as approved 
at Board level, given to parties securing the liabilities of certain subsidiaries (refer Note 27 for details).

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. Details 
with respect to credit risk of Trade and Other Receivables are provided in Note 10(a).

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of acceptable quality. Aggregates of 
such amounts are as detailed in Note 10(a). 

Credit risk related to balances held with banks and other financial institutions are only invested with counterparties with a 
Standard & Poors rating of at least AA-.

b.  liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting 
its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;

obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

•	
•	 monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
•	
•	 maintaining a reputable credit profile;
•	 managing credit risk related to financial assets;
•	
•	

only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

The Group’s policy is to ensure that all hire purchase agreements entered into, are over a period that will ensure that 
adequate cash flows will be available to meet repayments.

The tables below reflect an undiscounted (except for finance lease liabilities) contractual maturity analysis for financial 
liabilities. Financial guarantee liabilities are treated as payable on demand since the Group has no control over the timing 
of any potential settlement of the liabilities.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may 
therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest 
contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

Sensitivity Analysis
The following illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates, and equity prices. The table 
indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at the end of the reporting period would have been affected 
by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible.

These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of the other variables.

Fair value estimation
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a 
liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The fair values of financial assets 
and financial liabilities approximate the carrying values in the financial statements.

Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in assumptions 
may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is 
extracted from the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. In this regard, fair 
values for listed securities are obtained from quoted market bid prices. Where securities are unlisted and no market quotes 
are available, fair value is obtained using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by 
market participants.

Financial instruments Measured at Fair Value 
The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified 
using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value 
hierarchy consists of the following levels:

•	
•	

•	

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); 
inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as 
prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) Level 3.

Included within Level 1 for the current and previous reporting periods are listed investments. The fair value of these assets 
have been based on the closing quoted bid prices at the end of the reporting period, excluding transaction costs. The 
Group does not have other material instruments within the fair value hierarchy.

NOtE 31. NEw ACCOuNtING StANDARDS FOR APPLICAtION IN FutuRE 
PERIODS
The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory 
application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the Group. The Group has decided not to early 
adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. The Group’s assessment of the new and amended pronouncements 
that are relevant to the Group but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below: 

–   AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) and AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting 

Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010).   

These Standards are applicable retrospectively and include revised requirements for the classification and 
measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial 
instruments.    

The key changes made to accounting requirements include:   

•	 simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value; 
•	 simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives; 
•	 removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets; 
•	 removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at 

amortised cost; 

•	 allowing an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity 

instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these investments 
that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on 
disposal of the instrument; 

•	 requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity’s business model as they are 

initially classified based on: (a) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and 
(b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and 

•	 requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in 

its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would 
create an accounting mismatch. If such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present 
all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.

PERIODS (CONtINuED) 

These Standards were mandatorily applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013. 
However, AASB 2012–6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and 
Transition Disclosures (issued September 2012) defers the mandatory application date of AASB 9 from 1 January 
2013 to 1 January 2015. In light of the change to the mandatory effective date, the Group is expected to adopt AASB 
9 and AASB 2010–7 for the annual reporting period ending 31 December 2015. Although the directors anticipate that 
the adoption of AASB 9 and AASB 2010–7 may have a significant impact on the Group’s financial instruments, it is 
impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. 

– 

AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11: Joint Arrangements, AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in 
Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011) and AASB 128: Investments in Associates 
and Joint Ventures (August 2011) (as amended by AASB 2012–10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
– Transition Guidance and Other Amendments), and AASB 2011–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards (applicable for annual reporting periods 
commencing on or after 1 January 2013).  

AASB 10 replaces parts of AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (March 2008, as amended) 
and Interpretation 112: Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 provides a revised definition of “control” 
and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees. This Standard is not 
expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements. 

AASB 11 replaces AASB 131: Interests in Joint Ventures (July 2004, as amended). AASB 11 requires joint 
arrangements to be classified as either “joint operations” (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement 
have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities) or “joint ventures” (where the parties that have joint control 
of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). 

This Standard is not expected to impact the Group’s financial statements as the Group currently has no interests in 
any joint ventures or operations.   

AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements applicable to entities that hold an interest in a subsidiary, joint venture, 
joint operation or associate. AASB 12 also introduces the concept of a “structured entity”, replacing the “special 
purpose entity” concept currently used in Interpretation 112, and requires specific disclosures in respect of any 
investments in unconsolidated structured entities. This Standard will affect disclosures only and is not expected to 
significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.  

To facilitate the application of AASBs 10, 11 and 12, revised versions of AASB 127 and AASB 128 have also been 
issued. The revisions made to AASB 127 and AASB 128 are not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial 
statements. 

– 

AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from 
AASB 13 (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). 

AASB 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single Standard a framework for measuring fair value, and requires 
disclosures about fair value measurement.  

AASB 13 requires: 

•	 inputs to all fair value measurements to be categorised in accordance with a fair value hierarchy; and 
•	 enhanced disclosures regarding all assets and liabilities (including, but not limited to, financial assets and financial 

liabilities) to be measured at fair value. 

These Standards are expected to result in more detailed fair value disclosures, but are not expected to significantly 
impact the amounts recognised in the Group’s financial statements. 

– 

AASB 2011–4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel 
Disclosure Requirements (applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013). 

This Standard makes amendments to AASB 124: Related Party Disclosures to remove the individual key management 
personnel disclosure requirements (including paras Aus29.1 to Aus29.9.3). These amendments serve a number 
of purposes, including furthering trans-Tasman convergence, removing differences from IFRSs, and avoiding any 
potential confusion with the equivalent Corporations Act 2001 disclosure requirements.

NOtE 31. NEw ACCOuNtING StANDARDS FOR APPLICAtION IN FutuRE 
PERIODS (CONtINuED) 

This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial report as a whole because: 

•	 some of the disclosures removed from AASB 124 will continue to be required under s 300A of the Corporations 

Act, which is applicable to the Group; and  

•	 AASB 2011–4 does not affect the related party disclosure requirements in AASB 124 applicable to all reporting 

entities, and some of these requirements require similar disclosures to those removed by AASB 2011–4. 

– 

AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011–10: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 
1 January 2013). 

These Standards introduce a number of changes to the presentation and disclosure of defined benefit plans, 
including: 

•	 removal of the “corridor” approach from AASB 119, thereby requiring entities to recognise all changes in a net 

defined benefit liability/(asset) when they occur; and 

•	 disaggregation of changes in a net defined benefit liability/(asset) into service cost, net interest expense and 

remeasurements and recognition of: 
(i) service cost and net interest expense in profit or loss; and 
(ii) remeasurements in other comprehensive income.

AASB 119 (September 2011) also includes changes to the criteria for determining when termination benefits should 
be recognised as an obligation. 

These Standards are not expected to impact the Group’s financial statements as the Group currently has no defined 
benefit plans.  

– 

AASB 2012–2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and 
Financial Liabilities (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). 

AASB 2012–2 principally amends AASB 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures to require entities to include 
information that will enable users of their financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting 
arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with the entity’s recognised financial assets and recognised 
financial liabilities, on the entity’s financial position.   

This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements. 

– 

AASB 2012–3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities 
(applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014). 

This Standard adds application guidance to AASB 132: Financial Instruments: Presentation to address potential 
inconsistencies identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the meaning 
of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and that some gross settlement systems may be considered 
equivalent to net settlement. 

This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements. 

– 

AASB 2012–5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009–2011 
(applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). 

This Standard amends a number of Australian Accounting Standards as a consequence of the issuance of Annual 
Improvements to IFRSs 2009–2011 Cycle by the International Accounting Standards Board, including: 

•	 AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting to clarify the 

requirements for presenting comparative information; 

•	 AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment to clarify the accounting treatment of spare parts, stand-by equipment 

and servicing equipment; 

•	 AASB 134 to facilitate consistency between the measures of total assets and liabilities an entity reports for its 

segments in its interim and annual financial statements.

This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.

Report on the Financial Report 

We have audited the accompanying financial report of MACA Limited, which comprises the consolidated 
statement of financial position as at 30 June 2013, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement 
of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and 
other  explanatory  information  and  the  directors’  declaration  of  the  consolidated  entity  comprising  the 
company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true 
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for 
such  internal  control  as  the  directors  determine  is  necessary  to  enable  the  preparation  of  the  financial 
report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also 
state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that the 
financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our 
audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  Those  standards  require  that  we  comply  with 
relevant  ethical  requirements  relating  to  audit  engagements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain 
reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in 
the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment 
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those 
risk  assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  and  fair 
presentation  of  the  financial  report  in  order  to  design  audit  procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the 
circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  entity’s 
internal control.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness  of  accounting  estimates  made  by  the  directors,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall 
presentation of the financial report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our audit opinion. 

Independence 

In  conducting  our  audit,  we  have  complied  with  the  independence  requirements of  the  Corporations  Act 
2001.  We  confirm  that  the  independence  declaration  required  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  which  has 
been given to the directors of MACA Limited, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at 
the time of this auditor’s report.
